In this magical account, Janvier T. Chando brilliantly establishes the threads that made the young Thomas Sankara one of Africa’s iconic leaders in the twentieth century, and the revolutionary changes he brought to Burkina Faso that transformed it into Sub-Saharan Africa’s most self-reliant country. The author leads the reader hand-in-hand to the path of the trail of the young Sankara’s catapult into the limelight of Burkina Faso’s politics, his travails, his rise to power as the head of state, and his lucid notion of his mission.

No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered. Yet, hardly any serious pundit would say that the hands of foreign forces that are out to secure their “so-called interests” in the continent or that want to gain new ones, were not in most of these setbacks. That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

The independence fervor that gripped African colonies in the 1940s and 1950s was supposed to give birth to a "New Africa" that was expected to play a major role in advancing world civilization. What happened to make Africa fail so abysmally? By the end of the 1980s, a culture of political monolithism, dictatorship, corruption, coup d’état, mismanagement, underdevelopment and violence was dominating the political leadership of most African countries, fuelled by leaders with the evil disposition and their foreign puppeteers keeping them in power. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev’s Glasnost ...

This succinct narrative effortlessly takes us through a millennium and a half of the formative history of the land that is at the center of geopolitics today. As the first part of a breathtaking account that takes us hand-in-hand through the landmark history of the land variously described as "The Holy Land", “The Promised Land", Israel and Palestine, this narrative provides unique insight into plans — attempted and not yet articulated — to resolve the conflict between two peoples or nations with deep connections to the land, but who are not living there in peace because they are ...

Paul Biya, the octogenarian second president of Cameroon has been power for forty-six years (ten years as Prime Minister, which is the second highest office of the land, and thirty-six years as the President ---the highest office of the land), making him Africa's and the world's longest-serving head of state who is a non-royal. He is the caretaker of a six-decade-old system put in place by France before it allowed Cameroon to become a member of the United Nations Organization on January 01, 1960 by granting it its so-called independence, a system made up of a Cameroonian political ...

The terror perpetrated by hate groups with a twisted sense of righteousness centered on a cause to mitigate the miseries of an oppressed people or to perform a religious program (jihad), haunts the world today. In the contemporary world where people, groups and organizations arrogate to themselves the right to make not only the establishment they are against the target of their attacks, but deem it acceptable to attack civilians in an indiscrimate manner if its serves their purpose, terrorism is recognized as the biggest threat to global security. But then, what motivates these bloodthirsty...

In questo breve racconto, l'autore rivela i fili che tessono la controversa eredità del leader militare Egiziano e del capo di stato Anwar Al-Sadat, nelle sue motivazioni che lo hanno portato alla guerra contro Israele e che lo ha visto poco dopo diventare un capo iconico per la pace in Medio Oriente, spingendo il suo paese su un percorso che non solo ha iniziato la trasformazione dell'Egitto in uno stato moderno, ma che ha egualmente alienato l'Egitto dal resto del mondo Arabo.La natura inequivocabile del racconto di Janvier T. Chando getta una luce unica sull'eredità di uno dei leader ...

Soprannominato da molti esperti "La guerra più stupida del mondo", il conflitto in Ucraina è quello che quasi nessuno vedeva all'orizzonte nel 2010. Tuttavia, è già vicino a un decennio. In questo conflitto nell'Ucraina equamente divisa, la politica del rischio calcolato da parte degli attori locali del paese, da parte dell'Occidente che vuole trascinare l'Ucraina nella sua orbita, e da parte della Russia che teme di perdere l'Ucraina e la sua sicurezza nel processo, è la norma. Allo stesso tempo, il mondo osserva in modo apparentemente impotente mentre l'Ucraina viene fatta a pezzi ...

Il partenariato tra l'esercito francese e l'opposizione in Costa d'Avorio che ha portato alla rimozione di Laurent Gbagbo dal potere durante i conflitti civili post-elettorali è stato uno sforzo per ripristinare la democrazia o l'ultimo tassello di un piano per rimuovere una minaccia al famigerato "Patto coloniale" che la Francia ha imposto alle sue colonie in Africa prima di concedere loro l'indipendenza negli anni '60? La rimozione di Laurent Gbagbo e l'ascesa al potere di Alassane Ouattara fu uno sforzo per mantenere l'anacronistico sistema autocratico imposto dalla Francia in Costa ...

¿Fue la asociación entre el Ejército francés y la oposición en Costa de Marfil que resultó en la eliminación de Laurent Gbagbo del poder durante las contiendas civiles postelectorales un esfuerzo para restaurar la democracia o la pieza final en un plan para eliminar una amenaza al infame "Pacto Colonial" que Francia impuso a sus colonias en África antes de concederles la independencia en la década de 1960? Fue la eliminación de Laurent Gbagbo y la ascensión al poder de Alassane Ouattara un esfuerzo por mantener el sistema autócrata autócrata impuesto por Francia en Costa de ...

Dans ce récit magique, Janvier Tchouteu établit avec brio les fils qui ont fait du jeune Thomas Sankara l'un des leaders emblématiques de l'Afrique au XXe siècle, et les changements révolutionnaires qu'il a apportés au Burkina Faso pour le transformer en pays le plus autosuffisant en Afrique subsaharienne.

Ce récit réfléchi de Patrice Lumumba trouve que l'élimination rapide de la légende des développements géopolitiques impliquant son pays a plongé le Congo dans une tourmente dont il n'a pas encore récupéré. Janvier T. Chando donne forme au traumatisme profond du Congo comme la possession privée du roi Léopold de Belgique, plus tard comme une colonie belge et ensuite comme un soi-disant État indépendant rendu misérable par un bras de fer entre les rivaux de la guerre froide. Cela a abouti à la dictature inhumaine du pro-occidental Mobutu Sese Seko, dans des guerres au cours ...

El más vulnerable a este fenómeno es el Imperio Austro-Húngaro multiétnico, que está situado en el corazón de Europa y cuyos ciudadanos proceden de los tres principales grupos lingüísticos de Europa. Pero, curiosamente, su emperador Francisco José es...

Countries, continents, and the world at large experience jolts that move them away from their evolutionary if not reformatory paths, resulting in seismic changes that transform them fundamentally. Assassinations are one of the potent catalysts for these changes as they lead to wars, political changes, and even economic transformations. Below is an insight into far-reaching political assassinations that are still haunting the world today: Franz Ferdinand: Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb nationalist kills the Archduke and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, thereby sparking off World War One...

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from. Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties. When Bernie Sanders, the little-known Independent senator from small state Vermont boldly stated that he was a Democratic Socialist, and then began his race for the White House as a Democratic Party candidate, hardly anyone took him seriously. After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party machinery and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Many ...
